Miami OH should not be favored against anyone (from what we've seen thus far) -- and favored by a TD on the road in conference? Doesn't seem right. This game may truly be the toilet bowl of the college football season so far. BGSU avg .253 points per play and MIA OH avg .163 points per play. Both are in the bottom 20ish nationally. I don't see the total posted yet...if it is below 55 I think it becomes a play as well. MIA has scored 3 points in its last 8 quarters (against MIN and Cincy) and they're favored by a TD? MIA OH also may be missing their starting running back, top receiver and their starting right tackle. Where are the points coming from? BG has one of the worst defenses in the nation but at least they can move the football. BG lead Maryland two weeks ago 14-10 going into half time before being shutout in the second half and losing 45-14. Their QB is competent (a 3* recruit) and has played well considering playing MD and Oregon. BG beat MIA OH on the road by 12 last year. IF BG limits the turnovers I can't see them losing this game by more than a TD...
Frankly, I'm puzzled by this line - am I missing something???
MIA OH HC said that their #1 WR Gardner is not likely to play again this year. This is a big blow to an offense already struggling. Gardner was 1st-Team MAC last year with 11 rec TDs.
...Just some additional supporting evidence for BGSU here.

I was all over Minnesota last week and they came thru against MIA OH. Minnesota has been impressive to date - I think people are underrating their win against Fresno - That's a good offense they shut down. I feel Maryland might be a little overrated - still feeling some steam from their win against Texas in the opener. MD's offense has had some serious issues most the past 2 weeks.
MD had 195 total yards and were dominated last week at home against Temple (their first win of the season). They sold out to stop the run and dared MD to beat them in the air -- they couldn't. MD had only 50 rushing yards through 3Q. MD ran both QB's out there to try to get things going (Hill and Piggy) but both were ineffective and both threw an INT. MD has a lot of questions to answer - did their running scheme 'get figured out'? Are they really that good? (they're talented but, coaching can be questioned). The MD offense will certainly get tested. MINN D has been lights out. #6 ppg allowed, #4 ypg allowed, #7 points per play allowed. They haven't faced any 'great' running teams but they've held the competition to 2.9 ypr. If MD is forced to pass, good luck. (MIN is #8 nationally by the way in Opp yards per pass at #8.)
I think there's a lot to like about this MIN team and I look for them to grow (they are young). Freshman QB is looking better. I trust Fleck to get the O going here sooner than later. MIN isn't ready to compete with the B1G boys yet but they should go bowling comfortably.

Liking the Memphis Over.....think they score at will there against south Bama, people see that game against Navy and get worried but most that was in heavy rain storm
Also looking at the rice over, as mentioned in another thread both teams play fast and run a lot of plays, 54.5 seems low

No doubt, OSU is top 3 talented team in the country - they've shown what we all thought thus far. OSU has covered a couple of large spreads to start the season which worries me about this number. I just think this line is a smidge high and there are several reasons:
First, OSU is dealing with the Urban Meyer circus with him coming back this week. Second, OSU has Penn St. next week. I think because of this OSU will keep it rather vanilla on offense and Tulane's offensive will try to slow the game down a bit. I have a feeling OSU wants to get to 2H comfortably with no injuries and cruise to victory - possibly pulling Haskins and others. How much time did OSU spend game planning for Tulane? Tulane is no slouch, they have some players and they've played some of the big boys last couple years. They were tied against Oklahoma 14-14 at the end of the 1Q last year (with backup qb) - they took Wake to OT in the first game this season. The talent or the stage won't 'scare' them.
I think Tulane will do just enough. QB Banks can play, is mobile and they will hit a couple big plays. OSU let up 31 to Oregon State...If Tulane can put up ~17 I think we're sitting pretty. Tulane will slow the game down a bit, OSU is looking ahead and will keep it vanilla. 51-17

I might either add another play or two...or double up on a couple plays already made. There are a few things I'm looking at and might wait until tomorrow night to see if there has been any favorable movement. I feel pretty good about my slate and don't want to chase...
In the meantime...I've put together the below 6 pt O/U Teaser. These are all totals that I've considered playing at their current number but nothing quite looks juicy enough.

I should've got this when it was at 77 but I hesitated and now it's at 75. While I like the number less, I still like it quite a bit.
I think this is one of the more intriguing games thus far and glad it's sort of on it's own at 7pm Friday night. I really wish UCF would've been able to play UNC last week - want to see a little more from their new system/scheme and see them up against more talented team.
FAU has struggled on 3rd down this year. Converting just 39% - they were 5-15 against Bethune-Cookman last week but kept the ball moving by converting 7-8 4th downs. I don't think Kiffin can take those same kinds of risks against UCF. It was the passing game last year for UCF but I think their run game is top notch this year - they run multiple backs with differing skill sets and will be tough to defend. We all saw OU run all over FAU (not saying UCF is OU but they aren't that far off). At QB Robison (RS FR) has been VERY streaky thus far and shown a tendency to turn the ball over. While I love Singletary at RB - think he can be a real factor on Sundays - FAU run game has been spotty as well. Averaging just 1.9 ypc vs Air Force and 3.1 ypc vs Oklahoma.
UCF is a better/deeper team. They are probably the most efficient team offensively. They're balanced and take care of the ball. Defensively, they've held 7 of their last 10 opponents to 27 points or under.
Look, these two teams are/can be explosive - they could certainly score 100 combined. But I feel UCF defense and run game is going to show itself tonight. I think they get up early they will try to slow it down a bit - they don't want a shootout because it will play into FAU's game. If they keep FAU under 27 I think this goes under...I think the number at 75 is a tad high. 45-27 UCF

-- let's put together a few 'comfortable' winners with a couple of short dogs with an 18/1 shot to win golf tourney. Finau has scored in the 60's in 16 straight rounds. He leads the tour in Top 10 finishes. He's played well in big events -- He is overdue for a big win this season. He played well yesterday and will be in the hunt come Sunday. Finau can get as hot as anyone on tour. Why the hell not? A buck can go a long way...
